Award-winning journalist Barbara Walters died at the age of 93 on Dec. 30. The news was confirmed by her representative, Cindi Berger, who shared a statement with People. "Barbara Walters passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by loved ones," Berger said. "She lived a big life. She lived her life with no regrets. She was a trailblazer not only for female journalists, but for all women."
Walt Disney CEO Bob Iger tweeted about the trailblazing broadcaster's passing. "Barbara was a true legend, a pioneer not just for women in journalism but for journalism itself," he wrote. "She was a one-of-a-kind reporter who landed many of the most important interviews of our time, from heads of state and leaders of regimes to the biggest celebrities and sports icons. I had the pleasure of calling Barbara a colleague for more than three decades, but more importantly, I was able to call her a dear friend."
Her many accomplishments include cohosting "20/20," moderating presidential debates, receiving three Emmys, cohosting "The View," and receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She's survived by her daughter, Jacqueline Danforth.
